  • CrossRaven CrossRaven (@CrossRaven) reported

    I wonder how they are going to fix that everyone loves Overwatch's characters, but hates playing Overwatch.

  • renton577 Ren (@renton577) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent fix your trash tier matchmaking in #overwatch please.

  • TheCudders Connor (@TheCudders) reported

    @AskPlayStation Just asking. My PS5 controller does a weird drift thing on Overwatch or sometimes when a game ends but never during the game do I move slightly forward or anything. I just press up on the DPad or move the stick and it goes back to normal. Idk if there’s a problem.

  • techboy04gaming youtube.com/techboy04gaming - Im funny I think (@techboy04gaming) reported

    I dont like Overwatch as much, hasn't been that much fun to me, but I gotta give credit to @SaltyPhish, @sleepy, @andrew_jrt and all other youtubers who still make OW content for making the game more interesting and entertaining even tho at this point its either broken or dead <3

  • boofanders boofandres (@boofanders) reported

    feel so empty today that not even overwatch can fix this

  • monsterwives medieval cyber cafe (@monsterwives) reported

    I am going to draw winston overwatch and he will fix every problem I have

  • MercurialMoose Grim Grinning Moose (Dan) (@MercurialMoose) reported

    @cinderchellaaa Best I've ever done was be sent home to play Overwatch and talk on Discord because I was alpha trialing a new modem for my company and it was having packet routing issues with those two programs

  • sulkyacnh ky♡SHOP OPEN (@sulkyacnh) reported

    AYOOOOO fixed the mic and audio issue I was having with overwatch! Streaming OW at 7pm tomorrow then MAYBE some stardew after to wind down if I rage quit

  • MissingNerd MissingNerd (@MissingNerd) reported

    @MaddogCT @PlayOverwatch I'm using a 3 year old laptop and I can run this game on high 1080p 60fps no problem. Don't know what a "P4" is but it's gotta be pretty bad to fail running overwatch after optimization.

  • dxg2ab dxg2ab (@dxg2ab) reported

    @RogueN9 i think it would be better when people dont need to download the same game again for example in overwatch u can just hop on experimental either with out downloading anything or a little bit download and most of the files are already in current builds so it wont be a big problem

  • MelanieHawkins6 Melanie Hawkins (@MelanieHawkins6) reported

    @BlizzardCS Are there issues with servers in Overwatch still? No queue option, just not staying connected.

  • RavenousEyes Konchal Heera (@RavenousEyes) reported

    I feel like when they nerf an #Overwatch character, they’re punishing us for being good at the game. Granted some characters are just broken and need adjustments but still...

  • botwiththerod Roderick Hunter X (@botwiththerod) reported

    Overwatch SFM artists hard at work trying to take sides on issues progressives hold dear.

  • GeraghtyMarcus BibblyBobbly🥐 (@GeraghtyMarcus) reported

    @OWAnonymous_ When Overwatch 2 comes out, they’ll be SIX new broken characters that need to be needed

  • BeyondThMachina Beyond the Machina (@BeyondThMachina) reported

    Got overwatch for switch as a bday gift from my parents because my dad recalled I used to play OW a lot years back. I was very thankful & thought it might be fun to return to it. Sign in on switch, connect battlenet, & apparently I can’t transfer stuff from Xbox to switch :/

  • Tnecwin The Hallow ten (@Tnecwin) reported

    @JonasPride @sRPlay1989 @gameinformer Well, yes and no. The issue with Lawbreakers releasing for 40 bucks was that it released at the height of overwatch. People had no reason to BUY a second hero based FPS. F2P could potentially have allowed it to take up the people that couldn't afford / didn't want overwatch.

  • axl99 Jessie Lam _(:3 」∠ ) (@axl99) reported

    My coping methods involve ice cream, giving myself problems I can solve and lots and lots of Overwatch. I mean I could've just been a chain smoking alcoholic. I'm surprised I'm still not one.

  • IgnWorse What Ign Thinks Is Worse Than Overwatch (@IgnWorse) reported

    Do you guys have a problem with the fact that I post more movies than games? Because most of my recent 'is worse than overwatch' posts are from movies? Or is that OK?

  • djwaglmuffin 🎨DJW 🎨 (@djwaglmuffin) reported

    @carnicerx @SplitxHeart This is what it's like playing Overwatch and it starts lagging real bad.

  • Lianarts Lian ・ commissions open (@Lianarts) reported

    The sigma male?? Sigma from overwatch? A broken extremely intelligent scientist who talks to himself and walks around shoeless? Okay

  • Faxxanadu_ Faxx (@Faxxanadu_) reported

    When you have a game that people often say "is balanced for high ranks but broken for regular players" you, in fact, have a terribly balanced game. #overwatch #blizzard

  • _MuteNet Chris (MuteNet) (@_MuteNet) reported

    @ssbubear I personally wanna get better at most other things, try new stuff, I've been working for months on getting into streaming, I wanna be better at Smash, Valorant, and Overwatch, and riding 4 wheelers is a new thing I'm into, my brother gave me his broken ATV and me and my dad (1/2)

  • drunkenassassi2 drunken assassin (@drunkenassassi2) reported

    @Wayne_Townsend @IGoWumbo @majornelson but its not a service is a pay wall to features that players have already paid for idk about you but i'm pretty sure paying full price for a game entitles me to the full game including multiplayer hell sometimes all you get is a menu such as on overwatch which is a full price

  • BotWithOpinions Video Game Opinion Bot (@BotWithOpinions) reported

    Many Dragon Ball games are crazy but most of them would be old-fashioned if they had a Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle, disc launcher, and Dagger of Time

  • frostwalkerII frost ❄️ (@frostwalkerII) reported

    when someone says "i have trust issues" they really mean "i play the support role in overwatch"

  • paine_works paine (@paine_works) reported

    one time a ***** almost got me to download overwatch again but my blizzard installer was permanently broken the universe was trying to tell me she was bad news

  • M0xxLL Mox? (@M0xxLL) reported

    @NotTheRealRin @Inpheksion @OWAnonymous_ oh no, i game that’s based around mostly gunfight but also has abilities proved my point wrong. overwatch has characters viability based solely on their abilities. you think brig would be as broken with just her flail and shield?
